In Memory of Adam Russell ~ (Debra Estep)
July 27, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Adam, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Adam Murray was a great man, a strong Christian. He was a son, friend, and brother. But for most, he was my rock. we went to church every wed together, before i moved. One day I went looking for him and found his mothers number. I called her and she told me the news. I dropped. Adam was such a great man that i could not believe that he would be no longer on this earth. I love you Adam and i will always love you

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Paid in Full”
To Honor The Service of Fallen and Injured Marines
Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full
We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward
What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give it all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our hearts we will cherish your lives
Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the Few, the Proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us
They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of the lives that were lost for people unknown
Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

He was also in 3/8 Weapons. Proud gold star mom now, but always a very proud Marine mom. If there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dearest Family Of Lance Corporal Adam Murray
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with you at this time No words I can say will help ease your pain that's God's Job and I know and believe that He will do it . Although I did not know your son., Never met him, I did know him. He was a Marine the Best of the Best.I know what he had to go through to become a Marine and as a mom of a Marine also with 3/8 serving in Iraq I know what you had to go through also From boot camp to his first deployment , second deployment and his third, I was there with you though you didn't know it. I dread the knock on the door . I can't know how you feel at this time . My imagination runs wild sometimes so I think I have a general idea of the feelings you have. Just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and may God be with you. In today's paper there was an article of a writer who was on the same plane as you going to Arlington. He didn't mention your name as I don't think he knew it but I am sure it was and your son with the Marine Honor Guard, It brought me to tears . I just again want you to know that I am praying that God will grant you strength to carry on Love B Mom of a 3/8 Marine in Iraq

My heart goes out to you. As others have said, I know that there are no words that can help. But I hope you know that we have a country full of people that recognize Adam as a true American hero. Thank you for your sacrifice. My son, Cpl. David A. Bass, died in Iraq on April 2, 2006.

May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. I live close to ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY and visit there two or three times a week. While I was there today I attended Adam's service. Please know that each time I am at ANC I promise each of you that I will visit/honor Adam. Adam you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Dear Murray Family,
Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers during this time of grief and sorrow. We know Erin through our fencing program. She spoke of Adam so proudly and lovingly- we had prayed for him and others serving our country. We will continue to pray for you, may the way ahead find the light of hope in God.

Dear Murray Family,
Even though we have never met, I feel as if we are part of a family. My daughter's fiancee was killed in Iraq by an IED on Oct. 3, 2005. It is my prayer that you will feel God holding you as close to His heart as He has held my family these past months. May you know His comfort as you travel down this difficult road.

To Adam's family and friends...
It is with great sadness that I sign this book. I am a friend of Adam's sister, Erin. She was so proud of her brother. She and I talked about him and his fellow Marines on many occasions. Adam was always in my thoughts and prayers as he is one of many soldiers, sailors and marines who I know who serve their country. I cannot begin to know how difficult this time is for you all. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am proud of Adam and his service to our country. He is a true hero and will be greatly missed. May God Bless you all.

To Adam's family and friends-
My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.
They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.
Yesterday, Today, Forever – Semper Fi - Marines!
Our sincerest gratitude for their bravery-

To the Family of Lance Cpl. Adam R. Murray:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.

Adam will always have an important place in my heart - he was a tremendous asset to the youth group at Covenant UMC and will always be remembered as a great Christian and friend to all of us who shared his walk with God. We will always miss him, but we know that he is in an awesome place now and that we will see him again someday!!
